First of all RIP Tony Greig. We woke up today to the sad news on our TV that he had passed away.
Today we went to Topkapi Palace, where the Ottoman emperors and sultans used to live. We did an audio guide tour of the palace and harem complex. It was huge and took us 4.5 hours! The weather was grey today and drizzly rain, colder than yesterday. But not bad weather, we were still able to walk around all ok!
After the palace we went to the Archaeological, Ceramic and Oriental museums. All were very interesting, we saw ruins that were about 2-3 thousand years old!!
We had a meal at The Han Ottoman Restaurant where we got to sit on comfy couches on the ground and eat yummy gozlemes and drink apple tea. Delicious!!!
Another great day, I'm getting a bit tired but my throat has finally cleared up and my back is behaving itself again. Because I wasn't used to being on my feet so often my back was very sore the first few days. But as for the glandular fever - I win!! Lucky I got better just in time.
Love
Claire
